Ice cold
Winter is here. This year we even got real ice and snow - a rare sight here in Berlin, where it’s mostly just grey and cold (but not cold enough) most years.
A little motivation
I am trying to stay motivated during the last stretch before Christmas. This should help!
Retro Game Hunting
I have been on the hunt for the Dragon Quest DS and 3DS games here in Berlin: three stores and no luck! I guess eBay wins again… But at least I got to experience this very (!) overwhelming shelf at one of the stores (Freeman Games).
Hollow Knight Throw Blanket
As you might know, Hollow Knight is one of my favourite games. So when I saw this cute throw blanket on Fangamer, I – also a lover of all things cozy – was very excited. Still am! That’s why I’m writing this post: to let you all know that such a thing exists!
The state of game merch is truly fascinating. There are now so many great options to choose from – from cool desk mats to fancy pins, and yes, even cozy blankets.
Miniphone Ultra
How cool is this? A simple 3D‑printed case that turns your Apple Watch Ultra into a tiny phone. It doesn’t add much – just a bit of plastic so you can actually hold it – but that small tweak unlocks a perfect minimal phone: no buzzing on your wrist, no doom‑scrolling; just the essentials.
Honestly, it's kind of perfect.
(Ok, well, it's not perfect that it doesn't exist for my – admittedly dated – Apple Watch 6, but still! Maybe there will be a version for it someday!)
Frozen Leaf
It is getting cold here in Berlin. I am really hoping for some snow this winter (actually, lots of it).
Windows
Looking through a window into another window into another window into…
Selca Café
A new coffee spot opened up in our neighborhood: Selca Café. I tried their Oreo cake and the matcha – both very good! They also offer onigiri and miso soup, which I am looking forward to trying next time.
